Next I tried "lvchange -an LOGICALVOLUME..." on node 2 which threw the
same error, but after a while
"lvchange -aey LOGICALVOLUMEgfsresideson" on node 1 worked and the
logical volume did not appear on node 2 with "lvdisplay".

So now I tried "lvcreate ... -s ..." on node 1 to create a snapshot, but
received the standard error that shapshots of clustered volumes are not
implemented yet.

Now there is 2 possibilities how this could be understood:

1. lvcreate refuses snapshotting cluster logical volumes if the cluster
bit is there - disregarding the exclusivity of the activation state.

2. I did something wrong or incomplete.

I really would regret number 1 being true, and because of the errors I
received inbetween I hope that 2 comes up as winner. :-)
E.g. on HPUX you have to activate the volume group exclusively, not the
logical volume. Could that be the reason.

Is anyone out there who can shed enough light on all this?
Thanks for any hint or help
